Chapter 5: The Beast and the Cave

The pine forest is far away from Luoxia Peak, and it is located in a remote area, and few disciples in the sect will come here on weekdays, and Yu Xiao does not need to send pine nuts to Dantang recently.

It stands to reason that his cultivation will hardly be disturbed or affected in any way.

But in fact, this is not the case, Yu Xiao has had a headache recently, because of a troublesome matter that has entangled him.

On this day, he was sitting cross-legged in the room, refining the Qi Absorbing Pill in his body.

After a while, Yu Xiao suddenly opened his eyes without warning, and then rushed out of the wooden house.

After walking a short distance, he came to the southeast corner of the pine forest, and on a pine tree, Yu Xiao saw two rat-shaped beasts the size of wild cats, which were feasting on the purple cloud pine cones on the trees.

Seeing the two beast shadows, Yu Xiao immediately frowned, and said angrily: "It's you two beasts again, looking for death!" ”

As he spoke, he pinched his fingers, and the fire flashed in front of him, and a fire snake with the thickness of an arm appeared, and the temperature around him instantly rose a lot.

Just as he was about to control the fire snake to attack, Yu Xiao seemed to think of something, and unwillingly accepted the method, and the fire snake disappeared with it.

The two little beasts were obviously not low-witted, and after seeing Yu Xiao's arrival, they stood in the tree without fear, and very provocatively held two pine cones in their mouths, jumped down from the tree, and got into the hole under the tree, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the trace was difficult to find.

Seeing this, Yu Xiao was even more angry, these two beasts came out of nowhere, and in the past few days, they have been stealing Ziyun pine cones, and the forbidden enchantment on the periphery of the pine forest can't be prevented at all.

They were born in the Chiyun Mountain Range, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and they were no longer ordinary beasts, but demon beasts that had opened their minds, and they knew that there was a forbidden enchantment on the periphery of the pine forest, and ordinary means could not get in, so they made holes in the ground and drilled in.

At first, Yu Xiao only used the method of blocking all the holes, but this obviously could not stop the two little beasts from stealing and eating, but intensified.

The reason why he didn't make a move just now was naturally a rat bogey, not to mention whether he could kill the two little beasts in one net, if he destroyed Ziyun Pine, he would have to work for nothing this year, and he didn't want to get a single merit point.

This is the most troublesome thing for the guard pine forest, he needs to fight with these demon beasts who are just starting to wits.

It's naturally not worth it to continue to consume with those two little beasts now, but if he leaves it alone, then by the time his rotation chores are over, he doesn't know how many pine cones will be left in this pine forest.

"Looks like we'll have to find a way to wipe them out completely."

Yu Xiao already had an idea in his heart.

Of course, the place to exterminate them cannot be chosen in the pine forest, those two little beasts frequent the pine forest, must have built a nest nearby, as long as you find their nest, it is not difficult to catch them all.

Back at the wooden house, Yu Xiao stopped cultivating and immediately devoted himself to the plan to exterminate rats.

Time turned, the moonlit night fell, and the Chiyun Mountains were silent.

In the mountains and forests, two sturdy and thin figures moved quickly between the trees, and when the white moonlight shone on them through the gap in the forest, they could be found to be two small beasts with brown and yellow coats.

Approaching the forbidden barrier of the pine forest, the two small beasts stopped, and after looking around vigilantly, they made sure that there was no danger nearby, and then burrowed into the pine forest through the hole they had dug in advance.

After a while, the two little beasts came out of the pine forest with a full harvest, and disappeared into the mountain forest like a fly.

However, unbeknownst to the two little beasts, there were clearly visible traces of blue-green fluorescence on the path they had traveled, which were even more conspicuous in the moonlight.

This is the pollen of a common plant in the Chiyun Mountains, which becomes fluorescent and shiny in the light of the moon at night.

At the same time, Yu Xiao's figure also appeared outside the pine forest, and he looked at the remaining traces on the ground and tracked forward.

After a stick of incense, there was the sound of water crashing in his ears, and as the trees in front of him disappeared, Yu Xiao appeared in front of a waterfall, and in front of him was a small pool.

The fluorescent traces were completely lost here, and the two little beasts were nowhere to be found.

There are still some unwashed pollen on the rocks at the edge of the waterhole, and there are specks of fluorescence floating in the waterhole.

"Could it be that those two beasts found the pollen on their bodies and rinsed it off in the water, and their intelligence is already so high?"

Yu Xiao muttered to himself, feeling a little incredible, after all, they were two beasts with a fledgling mind, how could they realize this.

After searching around the waterhole, Yu Xiao found nothing.

At this time, his eyes focused on the place where the waterfall fell above, where the water splashed everywhere, and the cracking sound of snow-white blisters echoed in his ears, as if he was in a grassland with thousands of horses galloping.

The next moment, without any hesitation, he jumped into the pool and dived to the bottom.

With the help of a faint light, Yu Xiao found a waterway at a depth of five or six meters.

The waterway runs through the mountain where the waterfall falls, and it looks like an underground river.

Because of the waterfall, the surface of the waterhole is so chaotic that you can't see the situation below, and this waterway is rarely known.

"Sure enough, there is another mystery!"

Yu Xiao walked along the waterway, and after a while, he was carried upward by the force of the impact, and then he appeared in a low cave.

Although it was already late at night and it was dark outside, here, the water refracted the moonlight from the outside world, and it was shining brightly in all directions.

"Squeak!"

A panicked rat chirp broke the silence in the cave, and Yu Xiao saw at a glance the two small beasts that had built nests and nests on the side of the cave.

They are so smart that they built their nests in such a secret place, if it weren't for Yu Xiao's skills, I am afraid that they would not be able to find them for a while.

With Yu Xiao's arrival, the two little beasts suddenly panicked, they never thought that this human could track this place.

The beast reacted very quickly, and flew towards the waterway, trying to follow the current to get out of the cavern.

However, this time Yu Xiao had no scruples, only to see his palm slapping on the storage bag on his waist, and a palm-sized treasure fan appeared in front of him.

This is exactly the low-grade magic weapon he chose when he entered the sect.

The treasure fan swelled in the wind, and with a slight wave, several cyan spirit blades shot out, instantly splitting the corpses of the two little beasts, and they didn't even scream.

After eliminating the two little beasts, Yu Xiao didn't look at them at all, but was attracted by a corpse next to the little beast's lair.

The corpse was wearing a dust shelter suit for the disciples of the Ten Thousand Days Peak of the Floating Light Sect, and I don't know how many years have passed, the spiritual power inside the dust shelter has been very weak, and it is full of water stains.

"How could the disciple of Wanri Peak die here?" Yu Xiao was puzzled.

It stands to reason that this should be the territory of the Luoxia Peak, although the other Four Peaks disciples also come and go often, but they will definitely not stay for long, this person died here, which means that it is a sudden situation.

Could it be that he encountered the enemy, and after being seriously injured after being defeated, he did not enter the cave here, and finally died?

There is not much loophole in this explanation, and the competition among the disciples in the sect is also very fierce, and if it reaches the point of not dying, what are the rules of the sect.

On the left hand of the corpse, he clutched a blood-red diamond-shaped stone, which exuded a faint essence and blood aura.

Yu Xiao recognized at a glance that this was the blood essence that some powerful demon beasts turned into flesh and blood after their death, which had the effect of strengthening the body and attracting ordinary demon beasts.

Thinking that those two little beasts were attracted by this blood essence qi, so they built a nest and a den here, no wonder their intelligence is not low.

In addition, there was a storage bag lying in the arms of the bones.

After such a long time, the storage bag is still well preserved, Yu Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was overjoyed.

The storage bag of the disciples who entered the room of Wanri Peak, I think there should be a lot of good things.
